Okay quick question before I return you to your regularly scheduled posts (see below). It seems I've been invited to participate in an interview with Patrick Dempsey (surely I don't have to include a link for you to know who that is). I'll be talking with him next Tuesday and need questions for him! It's in conjunction with his new fragrance, Unscripted, so the questions really should relate to that somehow.

Leave me some ideas below and if I chose yours you can have a bottle of the cologne for yourself.

I can't imagine all the questions would have to be about his perfume. I heard that he's dyslexic. Maybe you could ask how he memorizes his lines and/or does he ever improvise, "unscripted"? (See, THERE'S the tie-in! :D)

Pretty sure I still had to look up who that was. Shame on me. He's one handsome dude. You could ask him how many different scents he had to smell to choose that scent and if he had a headache after (too much perfume/cologne gives me a headache. Is that just me?).

What does his wife think of the fragrance? Did she have much influence on the outcome of the scent? How did he enjoy the creative process of creating a fragrance, as different from the creative work he does in acting? Is it something he would do again?

All I can think of is Can't By Me Love. I know it's not on the point but man I love that movie! Ok think ... maybe what made him go with cologne? Or is this a start to a new line of products? Sorry all I got! But man your a lucky woman!

I am so jealous. My question isn't really about his fragrance, it's how he balances his family life and spending time with his kids and his rigorous work schedule. It's the million dollar question for most of us, but I would like to know his take on it. You are so lucky!!

Ok, seriously, I'd be curious to know what motivated him to sponsor a fragrance. Is it the fame? The potential influence? Does he just really like the scent? The opportunity to leave one's mark on the world? (ooh, that last one could be interpreted the wrong way)

Oh Gosh - I had to look him up too. The name was familiar but I wasn't sure who he was exactly. I guess I am too busy with living life? Anyway - what's it like with twins? As many as I have had - I don't think I could cope with two teething - two toilet training, two climbing... even though at one time I had three in diapers... Ask him if life with twins is as hard as it looks! I know its double the joy - but are you so tired that you kind of miss some of it - you know, life is just a blur?

Then ask him if YOU get to try/smell the perfume so you can describe the scent to us? Personally I like a musk based scent!

Ooh - fun for you! I alway wonder how all these celebrities keep their fragrances from smelling the same. Do they compare theirs to all the other ones to make sure they haven't accidentally copied some one else's fragrance? Have fun interviewing him!

Brand new to your blog- ask him if his new scent was inspired by his wife? I've heard they are really happily married and ask him if she played a big role in him selecting the makeup of the final product.

Oooh. Ask him how he stays so hot? Seriously, ask him how he got the idea to make a cologne or if someone approached him about it. I doesn't seem like something I'd think about doing just out of the blue. (Clean house- check, take kids to school- check, meet with Avon to create a perfume- uhhh)

My only advise is try not to fly out of your chair and kiss him wildly and passionately. Oh boy, is it hot in hear? JEALOUS! YOU. MUST. SHARE. PICTURES. And if he hugs you can I call dibs on the sweater you're wearing? *Dreamy*

I am wondering as well, why the jaunt into fragrance, as opposed to any of the many other opportunities out there? He is a car racer, a father, an actor (who, btw, has gotten waaaay better with age!) - so many other outlets for possible products (if that is what he is into) or services.

Did he decide to do the cologne because his wife works for Avon? I know they are selling it in their catalog, so just curious if she made him decide to do it or if he really wanted to create something as yummy as him!

Wow. I'm married, but still think he's a cutie. It's a good thing I'm not interviewing him, because the only questions I would be able to voice would be things like, "So do all women get weak in the knees when they meet you? May I smell you, er, I mean your cologne?" I'm sure you'll be much more cool, calm, and collected instead, and I know you'll come up with a good, journalistic sounding question.

His eyes...oh, dear...those "looks" melt me! I can't believe I wasn't asked to interview him though--he IS my soulmate after all ;). Feel free to share the news with him--

Ask him if he's worried what his kids will think about him kissing other women on camera...and sleeping with them. Seriously. Obviously, it's something his wife can life with, but I wonder what it's like for kids growing up to see their parent lip-locked & more with someone other than the other parent.

I would ask him if he plans on donating any portion of his sales to charities....he has fame fortune good looks, whats he giving back???? and is he secrectly mad hes Mcdreamy and not Mcsteamy lol just kiding but if he needs a charity, congenital heart defect research needs help hint hint!!

I always wonder with the signature scents just how much the person whose name the scent carries is involved in choosing the scent. Do they just give ideas in words, or do they really get involved in a more nose on kinda way.

I would like to know if he ever considered naming the product McDreamy. Even if it was just for a split second to make a friend laugh. I must know this answer and you are the only one that can get it for me.

And does he know that I am already calling the new scent McScribbit? Because I am.

Does the cologne name have anything to do with how he feels about his acting career? Does it relate to that time period where we did not see as much of him, like a testimony to a certain period in his life? Or to what is life behind the scenes as a husband and father? Where did the name for the cologne come from? did he have any say in choosing the name?

wow, you get to meet Patrick Demsey. He was great in Enchanted!!! Great photo opportunity... Say Hi from ME, and pass on my link to my papercuts, maybe he would like to see! ( I am laughing here, like he hasn't got more important things to do! :-), but if you want to... My other guy friends think they are cool, so, who knows! :-)) Anyhow, have fun!!!

I think that many scents have meaning. Ask him if the scent conjures up any memories for him, or if it doesn't have any memory for him, what would he like it to remind people of? For instance, my mom always wore a particular scent while she was pregnant, and now I wear it whenever I am pregnant or have strong memories of that time. Whatever you ask, I'm sure it will be interesting and you will do a great job! Elaine

Patrick Dempsey, huh? I want to rent "Enchanted" mainly because of him. Dr. McDreamy indeed. I wish I'd already seen Enchanted, but I don't guess I could come up with any questions that could relate that to the cologne. Have fun tomorrow!
